Tutorial Index

With most of these tutorials, you will be well-served if you open Authorware and actually practice the actions that the tutorial is describing as you go thru the lesson.

You will need the Macromedia "Shockwave" (Or, as it has been recently renamed,"Web Player for Authorware") plug-in for many of these tutorials!
When you download the Plug-in, you'll need to "Run" that program afterwards to install the plug-in. It is NOT self-installing.
Instructions and a link to Macromedia's download page....

If you would like copies of the website tutorials to put on a local computer (to save online charges), zipped versions of the entire site (all versions, minus the examples) are located at http://www.alnana.org/web/web.htm. There's a link there to download the zipfiles.
